If anyone is doing their SEF at the moment can you tell me if you are able to get onto the website?
I tried yesterday and it was down for maintenence and I can't get on it this morning either.
I work all week and it's the only time I can get on and i've only got to do one more question and it's done?

I strongly suggest you do your SEF on your computer and only go onto the Ofsted site when you want to upload the answers.

This way you are in control of your information, not Ofsted.

If something goes wrong and you lose your answers (as has happened to lots of childminders) you won't feel so bad then knowing they are safely tucked away on your computer and (hopefully) backed up on a memory stick.

You copy your answers out of your computer (control c) and paste them into the Ofsted SEF boxes (control v).

Thanks for the advice, i'll do that as soon as I can access the website.
They said it was down for maintenance please tell me my SEF will still be saved

Oh thank God the website is back this morning and all my work is still there.
I've copied into the word document like you said and have also copied it into another folder just to be safe.
I'm so glad it's still there thanks again for the advice xxx
